There's 2200 "union" workers out of a job now, Guess they'll have to live like the rest of us po-foke........ Guess they should of thought of that when they were getting those huge union contracts, lining their own pockets. Not giving a d**n about those of us who can't afford their union...

Sitting at home (as always), freezing rain, ice covered roads. Supposed to warm up to just rain later today. Upper 50's thru Sunday with severe thunderstorms on Sat. Crawling the walls, been home too long!! Need to find a 'good owner' and get back out on the road.

When we drove straight truck, the first owner we drove for asked us if we wouldn't smoke in the sleeper. We honored his request. When we'd get back off the road we had to take the truck back to his house and drive our personal vehicle 80 miles home. While we were off the road, he'd go thru the...

If one scrolls down to the bottom of the Forums page to see who's currently online, some n have a + sign behind their names. Why do a few have it and others don't?

I know exactly what you mean Cheri. I feel the sameway!! I'm not one to be able to just flop down in the sleeper and go off to sleep with the truck moving. No way I could share 'living space', especially in the confines of a truck with some stranger.

Moreover, it seems to depend on who is working that shift. I have been asked to leave the Meijers on Alexis Rd in Toledo, but many of my friends have parked there without being asked to move. Bro. Dave, why are you staying down on Alexis Rd. when just up the road a few miles you have a nice...

From how the freight is going now and all the DOT regulations I think the solo expedite driver is headed for the same endng as the dinosaurs...........extinction!!! At least in a straight truck.

good luck with THAT!! Finding a good, honest owner is like finding a needle in a haystack. Trust me, been there/done that. Been in expediting for 4 yrs. In that whole time, have had only ONE owner that I would drive for again!!! The only reason we left was because he knew there was more/better...

If your ready to take the plunge, I sure hope your a good swimmer!!! Like dhalltoyo said, expediting is sit, haul, sit some more, maybe haul, sit, sit, sit...........maybe get a load. Depends on what company your on with decides how busy you are. But right now, my guess, as far as vans go...

I'd be hiring a lawyer. No need to sleep on anything. In NY it's mandatory that all school buses have seat belts for all passengers. Ill needs to get with the times!!!!!

Congratulations Layout!! Your right! Hunting is only an excuse! :) Your story brought back one of the most cherished memories I have of my dad. We went deer hunting together only one time. I shot, and missed, a huge 10 point early that morning. Like you, I did score a 'kill' on the tree! lol...

To anwswer your question TeamCaffee, the State of New York pays to maintain any 'state' roads thru the reservation. Any reservation that's 'indian land' in the state of NY. No matter if it's the Seneca's or whatever. The state roads are maintained, plowed, etc. with state crews. Yes...

I've seen one ad from a fleet owner giving 60/40 split at first with possible 'bonus' up to 70/30 split. The driver paying fuel. Most ads that I've seen are a 60/40 split with driver paying fuel expenses.

The question this all raises with me is Why did this guy wait until just before orientation to bring these questions up, and why did he do it on here? Why not call THE COMPANY, and get the facts instead of alot of other's opinions.........hhhhmmmmmmmmm.

C'mon Hader1, that was funny!!! You need to lighten up a little bit. Nothing mean about it!!!

When I was with T-State I never had a problem, they kept us moving. We'd still be with them if the owner hadn't sold all his straight trucks. :) Tri-State is a good company. Not much B.S. from them. They do what they say.

There are alot of circumstances that come into play when one decides to sit, move on their own or ask for a move. Like the woman sitting in Laredo for 8 days, maybe she couldn't afford to move on her own. Maybe she believed dispatch when they say "sit tight, we always get loads out of there"...

Amen Brother Unfortunately we all seem to get caught up with the commercialization of the holiday instead of the TRUE meaning of Christmas. May all you be safe this Christmas and thru out the new year, prayers and blessings to you all and your families! :)

Ya had me sweating Jack......LOL thought my Pepsi was going to be on that list!! :) Can't survive without my Pepsi Fix! :)

Maybe Bill Ford can go to Congress and try to get some bailout money so he can afford to field a competitive team........Worth a shot, isn't it? LOL Reminds me of years back when Buffalo first drafted Jim Kelly out of the U. of Miami. He refused to play on a losing team. Went to the USFL. The...
